Color...........


This is what got me started on tonight's post - my niece and nephew dyed their family dog, "Bella", in honor of the colors of the Dutch soccer team.  She seems to think she looks great - and no, I did not "Photoshop" the color on her - that's what she really looks like!  While the kids were busy coloring the dog, my sister, Wendy, was working with her beautifully dyed wools (see the post on Sheep Shearing), so I put them all together and got this image of them..........


I decided to take a little look around me to see more colors.  Out in the back yard, there are the sunflowers coming up everywhere........


as well as the turquoise vase in the landscaping..........


and back in the house were the beets I just picked out of the veggie garden...........


Then, I thought about what we perceive as normal colors, such as a horse having a brown eye, but some do have that spooky looking blue eye..........


and I thought I'd leave you with an image of a bird I took last year at an exotic bird sanctuary in Auburn...........


...here's lookin' at you!

What did you do on the 4th????

Naggiar Tasting Room as seen from the back hill at BFF.

Many of us from Blue Fountain Farm ventured next door (yet again) to one of our favorite spots - Naggiar Vineyards and Winery - for their Fourth of July BBQ with live music.  As usual, a good time was had by all.


The weather was warm, but a breeze kept us cool, as well as being on the new lawn next to the lake, and under all those umbrellas.  It seems everyone enjoyed partaking of the great Naggiar wines - including myself (with Victoria)........

The band - The Nevada County Regulators -was great to listen to..........






and young Aurora and Mila enjoyed "dancing" - as well as getting the adults to play "ring around the rosie" and convincing Frank to swing them around...........

Frank and Aurora - "Wheeeee!!!"

It was a great way to spend the afternoon, and soon everyone went on their separate ways to watch the Fireworks from their different vantage points.  What a great day!  There are more photos of this event at Blue Fountain Photography. under "Proofs>
